It seems like cap friendly. Trying to fit in Bertuzzi, Kane, Tarasenko, Miller, Laff, Mcdavid, or whatever.

This graphic is from TSN, look how good Vegas was at even strength. Vegas also did not have any skaters who were outscored at even strength during the playoffs. Not one.

Yost: Vegas Golden Knights prove historically great at even strength | TSN
Historic. Many have used that word to describe Vegas’ lightning-quick transition from darling expansion team to Western Conference dynamo, capped off on Tuesday night with the organization’s first Stanley Cup.

A few random thoughts and points:
-I'm curious if Vegas just was some crazy statistical outlier with pretty much every player going there and hitting their peak at the same time (Marchasault/Karlsson/Theodore/etc....I won't count Riley Smith who was a consistently a very good player already) or the desert and Nevada really is some low pressure tax free paradise where everyone can shine.....the opposite of NY, Toronto, etc. lol. We'll know within the next 2-3 years when some of their core is aging and then next wave of prospects come in.
-I've seen a lot of crying and jealousy on Twitter (it only took Vegas six years to win a Cup)....Rangers won a Cup their second year in the league bro.
-Did Aiden Hill unlock his peak potential and will he go back to an ok backup? Which goalies does Vegas go with?
-Howden winning a Cup isn't that offensive. Plenty of players from other organizations end up in the right place at the right time while solid citizens can go an entire career and never get to a Conference Final yet alone a Cup Final. It's cruel at times.

Why? None of the owners seem to mind it, otherwise it would have been fixed by now.
I'd also be interested to know how you 'fix' ot unless it's a blanket "we don't care who gets hurt, he cap is the cap, you can play with 12 players if you need too..."
